Manny Oyeleke is an excellent signing for Port Vale - says a director of the midfielder's former club Aldershot Town.

The 25-year-old Londoner has joined the Valiants on a free transfer after helping Aldershot reach the National League play-offs last season.

He was named both 2017/18 players' and supporters' player of the year for his efforts with the Hampshire club - and that was no surprise to Tommy Anderson who is chairman of supporters group the Shots Trust and also sits on the club's board of directors.

He said: "Port Vale are getting a very solid box-to-box midfielder. Manny is very good at protecting the defence but also very good at going forward as well.

"He's a very good ball player, he is someone who looks to dictate play, he loves to control the midfield. He is very versatile through the middle, he can be the water carrier or the attacking midfielder.
